Francesco Marroccu has been named new Cagliari sports director following the dismissal of Nicola Salerno this week.
Marroccu, who is the current general sporting secretary, becomes the 10th sporting director of the Cellino era.
At 42-years-old, Marroccu is one of Serie A's youngest and least experienced men in this role and it may be short-lived as Cellino has announced his intention to sell the club in the summer.
